Walmart launches Facebook pages in Orlando

October 12, 2011|By Walter Pacheco, Orlando Sentinel

Walmart has launched more than 3,500 store-specific Facebook pages -- including 10 in Orlando, Casselberry, and Altamonte Springs -- that will update shoppers on Facebook about new products, rollbacks, and in-store events.

The “My Local Walmart” Facebook application allows shoppers to track the inventory inside a specific store and when new produts will arrive. A short YouTube video shows you how it works.

Customers can even print out a map of their favorite Walmart store for quick access to products, a useful tool on Black Friday when masses of shoppers flood area stores.
